The Archos 5 IT is ambitious and based on a nice concept. Howeve
Implementation of Android OS could be slicker. Lack of apps. Poor build quality of headphones and speaker
Browser could be better
AppsLib store is bare
The new Archos 5 Internet Tablet may run Android
But that doesn't mean you can download just any old app for Google's platform. You're stuck with those available on Archos's own AppsLib e-store
And compared to the Android Market
Its she...
Accessories and plug-ins hike up the price
Touchscreen can be sluggish and frustrating
Stylus would have been useful
Nonremovable battery
Web browsing could have been better
Touchscreen isn't as responsive as it could be
Doesn't support the Android Market
Navigation software costs extra
You'll have to pay more to be able to play some file formats
Android OS offers little of the convenience of the Google Android experience
Abstract: Whether the Archos 5 IT is a full-on tablet is debatable. What isn’t is how fluent it is multimedia-wise. With Android Market support, this PMP could shine.
Beautiful design; impressive display; add-ons provide an unparalleled experience
Pricey; many Web videos wouldn't play; features that come standard in comparable products are absent; unreliable Wi-Fi
Archos charges too much for too little with the standard Archos 5. To be competitive in 2010, all of this media player's optional extras should have come standard. ...
Large, gorgeous screen makes it arguably the bestlooking media player on the market. At 6.4 ounces, it's barely heavier than your cellphone
Android runs dogslow when it's not crashing. 32 GB doesn't feel like enough storage for a highdef movie device. (Heavier, bigger, harddrive versions are also available.) Touchscreen is badly botched, which makes typing incredibly frustrating
Abstract: The Archos 5 Internet Tablet appears to be an attempt at snagging some of the market share held by popular multi-use devices such as the Zune HD and the iPod Touch. It boasts a number of qualities that make it stand out from the rest of that market. Ke...
The Archos 5 Internet tablet has a large screen which gives you good experience in video quality, photo viewing and gaming. This device can be paired with cell phone for internet usage. Bluetooth pairing is fast.
There is IM but not voice chat which makes it incomplete. No voice chat support, locating places on GPS is slow, flash not supported for internet (further versions of Archos 5 Internet tablet support flash), awful music quality.
The Archos 5 Internet tablet has more of negatives than positives. It was made simply to compete with the iPod touch. The features are same as iPod touch minus the phone but the feature quality is nowhere comparable. The features are all half served li...
Are you interested in an attractive, lightweight portable media player with great battery life that you can use mainly to consume audio and video files that have been directly downloaded or streamed across a local network? If so, you’ll like the Archo...
thin, light, well made, great screen, runs Android apps on a 4.8″ screen,auto-rotate function works great
Archos’ piece-meal pricing practice is not only annoying but makes the device much more expensive than it originally appears, buggy and crash-filled, basic functionality not available out of the box, no access to Andros Market, the inability to play...
